SUSS MicroTec Reports Strong Sales Growth in Q1 2025

SUSS MicroTec, a key player in semiconductor equipment, announced a notable sales increase of 31.8% in the first quarter of 2025, reaching €123.2 million. This growth was driven largely by Advanced Backend Solutions and Photomask Solutions, showing growth rates of 47.0% and 8.6% respectively. Despite a slight decrease in gross profit margin to 37.9%, the EBIT margin rose to 16.6%, aided by controlled expenses compared to sales growth.

Order intake stood at €88.1 million, down from last year, as some orders expected in 2025 were received earlier. SUSS maintains its 2025 forecast despite US tariff risks, expecting sales between €470 to €510 million, with margins in line with earlier predictions. The company is advancing preparations in Taiwan, with plans to start production in Zhubei by late 2025.

With potential economic uncertainties, SUSS remains vigilant and adaptive to market shifts. The company continues to strengthen its position in the semiconductor industry.
